Rep and Pro Reviews

Forums:
Rep... Especially anonymous rep / neg rep. Being able to make a comment regarding a post off the forum is ok… but the rep system is lame. (Especially since I have no rep.)

Pro Reviews:
They are good, but I'd like to see more video reviews and more buying guides / product value summaries. Getting a rundown of specs and test results is great… but what I really want is a short summary that lists the best product at various price points.

Example: Light Shootout
There is a ton of info… maybe too much IMO. But I have yet to find the summary that says if you have X dollars to spend, then product Y is your best bet. It is easy to see if I have a large budget, which light is the best… but for a modest budget, it is not that easy to see which is the best value.

#3. Sorry, but the whole 'rep' and 'rep power' thing is just gay. We do ranks which simply

People who use the word gay. So many other words to use bro.

I did it that way to be cool and hip. It all started on afternoon when I was shredding at Kirkwood in 2005 I was like "bro I am totally a snow junky, this is like my 40th day here and I am the ultimate shredder" the I proceeded to drink my 40oz of PBR and when finished I was like " dude not only am I a snow junky and am just outright to cool for a vowel" So then when I decided to become snowjnky. I was so cool that day.
years later I did contemplate changing my MTBR handle to Baycat, but though that was sort of gay.

How the Sam Hill did you manage to post that twice??? It's been a while since I've seen that happen.

The worst part of MTBR has nothing to do with the forums or the website, It's when you run into somebody you know from the website and they only refer to you as your handle. I get it if you don't know their real name, but once you do use it. If I would have known I would have picked a way cooler handle like Sir Hucks-a-Lot

Coming from founding and running one of the top US forums for another sport I can probably comment a little bit.

#1 Which means if you load the "NorCal" forum (for example) , and you see a topic that interests you, if you try to click on it too soon, chances are goods you'll be sent to the next topic down, as the page is loading slow and by the time it registers your click, the page formatting has changed, so your click is misread.

Non mountain biking related posts

Non mountain biking related posts, particularly in the Passion forum. They crowd out the posts I come here to read. Post your cat, new grandson photos, illegal checkpoints, relationship problems, etc. stuff somewhere else. If moderators moved them people would eventually get the message.
